+ bibliography! we believe it’s important to state our sources for the etymology sections; we use this dictionary edited by Zaicz Gábor and/or https://t.co/LIVM9XaCFw (i think the dictionary on arcanum was edited by Tótfalusi István) we hope you enjoy etymology as much as we do!

DISCLAIMER ❗️ when we post verbs we write them in third person singular. that is because we believe it is easier to memorise and understand conjugation if you look at the third person singular first, and not the infinitive form!
